(Lincoln's POV)
Saying that I was surprised would be an understatement, I was stunned by the offer.
"You want me at your School?" I asked just to make sure I wasn't hearing things
"That's right" Miss Grimwood replied "I'd understand if you wouldn't want to but I ask you to think it over."
"No no it's not that It's just, isn't this a boarding School for monster girls?" I told her as I got a nod in
conformation "I'm a human boy, wouldn't their parents be upset that I would be living with them?"
"Well for sometime now I have been thinking of having some boys come to the school to help the girls have
more interaction with boys their age and since you get along with them so well they'll be more comfortable
since they know you." Miss Grimwood told me
"The girls have also been telling their parents about you and many of them are intrigued and are more likely
open to the idea" Miss Grimwood continued "As for you being human your magic potential makes you eligible to
attend and I have hope that I can use this to help bridge the gap in human and monsters relation after so many
years of fighting and hiding."
"You also seem use to living with a large number of girls" Miss Grimwood said as she still can't get over the fact
that his " You seem like the perfect candidate for a test run before I can full open the school for both boys and
humans."
I was silent as I took in everything that Miss Grimwood told me, it made sense in a way but their are still some
problems before I can enroll.
"How much would the tuition cost to enroll here" I asked I could pay for it easily but I had to make sure my
family never find out about the money I have." My parents would want to know how much it would be if I can
convince them."
"Not a cent." Miss Grimwood told me "It is after all my idea, I am prepared to issue a full scholarship as long as
you put your best effort into your studies."
Miss Grimwood took out a single piece of paper and with a wave of her hand, all of the conditions that they just
spoke of are now listed.
"I understand that this will take sometime for you and your parents to think over before they sign this" Miss
Grimwood said as she shows me the paper with a space for my parents to sign"So you may enjoy the rest of your
summer break and please use that time to think over on the offer."
I wonder how I can convince my parents to let me transfer schools, especially if the school is two states away
when Lori is just one year away from leaving to college and Dad is not ready for that day.
"but I will go to this school, I don't know how but I will" I thought in determination.
"Thank you Miss Grimwood for the offer" I said taking the paper " I will try everything I can do to convince my
parents to sign."
Miss Grimwood smiled at my words, It must mean a lot to her.
"The ghouls will be so thrilled to hear this" Miss Grimwood said as an Idea came to me.
"Wait Miss Grimwood" I said "Maybe we shouldn't tell them just yet"
"Oh, and why not" Miss Grimwood asked confused
"Because If I can get my parents to agree this can be a surprise for them when you announce that a new student
will be joining them" I told her as I started to smile, imagining their faces
Miss Grimwood chuckled at the thought as she can see her students bombard them for answers with shocked
expressions.
"Oh very well" Miss Grimwood said agreeing with my idea "It would be entertaining to see"
We continued to talk as she explained many of the rules and what subjects I would be learning if I come to the
school. I've got to say that they sound awesome, with the regular classes like english, math, and history, their
are many exciting ones like, magic studies, magic crafting and potion making.
We would have continued but I then heard something as I had a feeling that someone was listening in.
I signaled Miss Grimwood to quiet down by putting my fingers to my lips as I quickly opened the door only to
find the ghouls(Minus Gila and Milly) falling to the floor.
"Ow!"
"Oof!"
"Hey!"
"So Girls" I said with a smirk on my face "You just 'dropping' by"
Phantasma chuckled at the joke as they all got up
"Girls what is the meaning of this" Miss Grimwood asked with a stern looking at the eavesdropping ghouls as
they looked at each other nervously.
"W-well you two were taking a long and we got worried that something was wrong" Winnie said nervously.
I had a small smile knowing that they must have been worried about me and it seemed that Miss Grimwood
noticed it too as her expression softened
"I understand that girls but the conversation we were having was a privet one" Miss Grimwood told them "So
what did you hear?"
"Nothing really" Sibella said as the others nodded "We just arrived when the door opened"
"It's true" I said as they looked at me "I only just felt them when they arrived outside the door"
"How did you even know we were their?" Phantasma asked as they all wanted to know
"I have ten sisters and nine of them like to spy on me" I said with a deadpan expression
A look of understanding passed through the group as they must admit that being in a large family means that I
don't get any privacy.
"So what were you talking about?" Phanty Asked wanting to know
I shared a quick look with Miss Grimwood and silently asked her to play along as I said
"Miss Grimwood wanted to know more about the rumors about my great grandma to see if she could try and
learn more information" I said as their was once a rumor about my great grandma being a witch.
"Yes, sadly their wasn't much information but their is always a possibility that their might be some information
in the magic community" Miss Grimwood said as a cover but was silently thinking of trying to learn who
Lincoln's great grandmother was.
"Then the conversation shifted on how I can stay in contact with you girls when I leave town- "I wasn't able to
finish my sentence as they cut me off.
"YOUR LEAVING?" They shouted in surprise and worry
"Is it something we did?" Sibella asked worried that they did something wrong
"Is it because I called you big brother" Winnie said as her ears flattened and her tail curled in between her legs.
"Please don't go" Tanis cried as she hugged my leg
The sight broke my heart a little but I had to set things straight.
"Hey, hey, hey don't cry" I said as I picked Tanis up "None of yous did anything wrong"
I then looked at Winnie as I patted her head "and I feel honored that you see me like an older brother so don't
think it's that"
"Then why are you leaving" Elsa asked
"Did you all forget that i'm only in town for a week" I reminded them as their eyes widened in understanding
"and today is day six, so I have to leave tomorrow morning."
After I explained it to them did the ghouls became embarrassed on how they acted as Miss Grimwood and I
shared a laugh.
Soon enough the time for my visit was over and as we said goodbye and as I promising to visit whenever I can, I
realized how attached I am to them, It was bitter sweet.
(The next day)
It's the next day as I finished loading up my car, I could just
a nice drive would take my mind off things.
As I looked at the hot spring, I remembered the time I spent here, meeting the ghouls, learning magic, and all
the things we did together.
I sighed as I'll really be missing this place as I focused on the building before me," intelligence for you had fulfilled my need so may my darkness recedes>" As the hot spring glowed with a
white light before it became the small two boxes that made it up. a2
"Yep it still makes me feel like an edge lord" I thought as I put the boxes into my As I got in the car I remembered why I left home to begin with.
"Sigh , Looks like on the way home I should stop at a mall." I sighed, even if I hope that my sisters could have
solved the situation fairly I have a strong feeling they didn't so I need to once again show them how wrong they
are.
~few hours later~
(No POV)
At the Loud house you can find Lucy and Lisa on the couch wrapped in blankets looking just as bad as they did
the first night of their brothers departure as they've been having nightmares the whole time and couldn't sleep.
(And Lucy usually likes nightmares)
The other Loud sisters aren't doing any better as Lucy and Lisa's night terrors have been keeping them up for
the whole week causing them to have large bags under their eyes, it came to the point where they tried to make
a sleep schedule only for them to fight on who would get which day.
"Dudes" Luna groaned as she gets another cup of coffee "I can't take much more of this"
"I know" Luan agreed "Normally I would try to make a sleep joke, were all so tired it would be a snore-fest, ha ha
ha get it" Luan weakly chuckled before suddenly face planting in her cereal.
"Ok maybe it isn't all bad" Luna said as she moved luan's head a little to stop her from drowning in her cereal, if
Luan is can stay asleep for the rest of the day then they have a whole day of no bad jokes.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!" Lola screamed at the top of her lungs almost waking up Luan "If Lincoln doesn't
walk through that door in the next five seconds I will-" Lola didn't get to finish her sentence as they all hear the
door open.
"I'm home" Lincoln announced carrying a shopping bag.
Lana looked at Lola "You couldn't have done that a week ago!" She told her twin, Lola didn't have time to retort
back as they all rushed Lincoln.
Lucy and Lisa were the first ones as they started to cry in relief as they had a death grip on him to make sure he
wouldn't leave them.
When the others reached him they all started to voice out their complaints on how he left them to deal with this
mess, but it was too many voices talking at the same time that Lincoln couldn't make any sense of it at all.
"SILENCE!" Lincoln shouted causing them all to back away a little, surprised that he suddenly raised his voice,
Lucy and Lisa are covering their ears looking scared which causes Lincoln to go into Big Brother mode and
comfort them.
After taking a minute to calm the two girls, Lincoln looked at the rest of his sisters with a calm but serious
expression.
"Lori" Lincoln focused on his eldest sister "Explain"
"Well the night you left Lucy found a video from one of Luan's old cameras that was in your room and it was of
the night your 'growth spurt' happened" Lori told him as Lincoln's eyes widened "From what they told us is that
Lucy was having a break down and Lisa happened to find her like that and saw some of the video as well,
they've been like this the whole time you were gone."
Lincoln looks at the two traumatized girls as they were still holding on to him as if he were to disappear, Lincoln
held on to them closely as he whispered soothing words to them.
"All of this could have been avoided if you hadn't been a baby and left" Lynn says as many of her sisters agreed
with her.
"That's right" Lola agrees "We tried calling you but you just had to be selfish and ignore us"
"So you think this is my fault?" Lincoln asked as his sisters (minus Lucy,Lisa, and Lily) nodded
"So you are all incapable of looking after yourselves and each other without me" Lincoln told them.
"That is literally not true" Lori said with her arms crossed
Lincoln just deadpans before he points to Lucy and Lisa who are still hugging him.
"That doesn't count"Lori declared not liking that Lincoln is making a point and just decided to ignore it. "Why
weren't you back the next day" Lori demanded to know.
With one eyebrow raised Lincoln asked "Don't you remember that I said I'll be gone for a week?"
"Well we remembered, but as soon as you left everyone started to place bets that you would show up the next
day" Lana told him as she remembers how the others acted.
"Really?" Lincoln looked at them with a disappointed expression that most of his sisters didn't catch but Lana
saw it and the sick feeling in her stomach returned.
Face-palming after hearing that Lincoln decided to show them how stupid the 'Sister fight Protocol' is.
"Before we continue this back and forth debate" Lincoln said "how did you girls resolve the issue?"
Leni perked up as she remembered their great idea "Well Lori would get in on days that end with 'Y' and I'll get it
the rest of the time" Leni smiled but Lincoln shot Lori a look to which she only could shrugg.
"So you returned one of the dresses right?" Lincoln asked as Leni nodded but Lori had a bad feeling "So what
did you do with the money that you got back?" Lori looked in a panic as she was about to stop Leni but it was
too late. a4
"Oh since we're sharing the dress Lori said we should split the money" Leni said as everyone including Lucy and
Lisa looked at Lori who looked was avoiding eye contact with everyone.
Lincoln took a deep breath "Really Lori?"
Before Lori could say anything Lincoln told Leni the truth "Leni everyday ends with 'Y' so not only are you
loosing money but you'll never get a turn with the dress" Lincoln explained as Leni grew shocked but then angry
as she glared at Lori who also had a glare but it was directed at Lincoln.
"You little Twerp now looked at what you did!" Lori shouted as The others feel that another 'Sister Fight
Protocol' was about to happened and many blamed Lincoln too.
"Nice going Stinkoln now we have to go through the protocol all over again" Lynn said angry that her brother
was ruining everything again.
"No you don't, here you go Leni" Lincoln handed Leni the shopping bag, Leni looked inside and gasp as she
pulled out a beautiful seafoam green dress with gold flower designs all around it.
"OMG" Leni exclaimed in shock as the others gasp at the dress, Lori's jaw dropped "This is a once of a kind dress
made by the worlds top fashion designer Daphne Blake!"
"Ya I figured that you'd get the short end of the stick so I went ahead and got you a better dress" Lincoln told her
with a slight smile at her excitement before turning his attention to Lori "And you better give Leni back the
money that's rightfully hers"
Lori knowing theirs nothing she can say without looking like a thief sighed before she nodded as she pulled out
her wallet and handed Leni the money she owned her, Then she turned back to Lincoln and held out her hand
expectingly.
"What are you doing?" Lincoln asked looking at her, already knowing where this is going
"I'm waiting for my dress" Lori said as if it was obvious "it wouldn't be fair that Leni got a dress like that and I
don't"
"Not going to happen" Lincoln said as Lori looked shock that he didn't get her one "You already got a dress and
almost con Leni out of her money"
"and speaking about the dress lets talk about how stupid this fight was as well as the Sister Fight Protocol."
"Hey theirs nothing wrong with the protocol" Lynn said with her arms crossed
"We'll get to the protocol in a second so lets begin with the dress" Lincoln said waving Lynn words aside
absentmindedly as Lynn grit her teeth not liking Lincoln's attitude towards her.
"First Leni had the dress first, she was wearing it before you even came home." Lincoln said as Lori was about to
say that she had the dress first but Lincoln stopped her. "Second did you even check the recite it would have the
time you had bought it."
That's when Lisa decided to speak up "W-well I did think of that b-but I knew that if we did one of them would
still deny it and be upset" Lisa said as Lincoln then looked at her.
"It doesn't matter do you think this is acceptable out in the real world" Lincoln then looked back at the others
"Of course one of them would be upset but you need to learn to suck it up because not everything will go your
way."
"Thirdly, Leni is great when it comes to fashion designing" Lincoln pointed out as Leni looked pleased "Think
Lori think, She could have made alterations to one of the dresses so they wouldn't be the same" a3
"Well I thought about that too, but then they would have argued over who's dress would be altered." Lisa said as
Lincoln shook his head.
"Leni's dress would have been the one altered" Lincoln said as Lisa was about to point something out but
Lincoln cut her off "If Lori wanted her dress altered then she would have to pay for the materials as Leni bought
those herself."
"Or she could've asked Leni to make her a once of a kind dress, as I said before Leni is brilliant when it comes to
fashion." a1
Hearing all of this Loud sisters had to admit(Although some refuse to say it out loud) That Lincoln brought up a
lot of good points, but Lori didn't like how they seemed directed at her as they made her look like the bad guy.
"Well I'm the oldest so I-" As soon as Lori said 'I'm the oldest' Lincoln was slowly reaching his limit.
"Give it a rest with that stupid line" Lincoln said exasperated "Congratulations your the oldest, if we all live the
same amount of years then your the first one to kick the bucket." a4
His sisters are shocked that Lincoln just said that as they all looked at Lori who looked like a fish as her number
one argument to win anything she wants over her siblings got turned around on her, The girls looked back at
their brothers.
"Geez" Luna said "I didn't think someone could turn her go to argument against her like that"
"Guys I'm feeling a bit nervous, what happens when he gets to the protocol?" Lana asked not wanting to be on
the receiving end of Lincoln's sharp words.
"Please it's a sister thing so he has nothing to say about it." Lynn said thinking that no matter what her brother
says will have any affect on them.
oh how wrong she was a3
"Speaking about the protocol" Lincoln said as he faces the whole group "You say its a sister thing and that all ten
of yous know about but I can't because i'm your brother not a sister"
"Y-ya that's right" Lola said nervously but tries to fight it down.
"I can understand Mom and Dad knowing" Lincoln said as the girls smiled thinking they've won "But what about
your friends"
"What?" Lola asked confused as their smiles vanished
"Their your friends not your sisters" Lincoln told them "Nor are the neighbors or Bobby, even Clyde knows about
it."
They had nothing to say to that, maybe they could say that they didn't want their friends to get in the middle of
it but they had also warned the neighbors and Lincoln's best friend.
"You also used my things for the protocol, if I was supposed to 'butt out' then that means I have no part in it,
including my things."
"Well it's the needs of the many over the few and we are the many" Lola said confidently but shrinks back at the
look Lincoln gave her.
"That's not how that saying works" Lincoln said "The needs of the many over the few was a saying to justify a
war which cost the lives of millions" Lincoln spat as his sisters flinched at the venom in his voice.
"Now can I continue without interruptions?" Lincoln asked but didn't wait for a reply as he continued " And then
their was all the money that's gone to waste, you all know that were always tight on money and you have Dad
buy enough ingredients for two dinners and I know for a fact no one helped pay for them.
Lincoln maybe rich now but that doesn't mean he just waste it, he knows the value of it and hasn't really bought
anything pricey except for the car and Leni's new dress, all the money he's earning is just sitting in his account
growning.
Picking up Lucy and Lisa Lincoln starts going upstairs.
"Hey were are you going?" Luna asked as Lincoln turns to face her
"I'm tired and these two look like they could go for a nap" Lincoln replied as he looked at the girls in his arms as
they started to nod off before he continued his way upstairs to his room.
After hearing the door close was when Luan decided to wake up with a start, surprising the girls with cereal in
her hair and milk all over her face.
"Huh what did I miss?" Luan asked as her sisters stared at her since she slept through the whole ordeal. a3
~In Lincoln's room~
As he tucked Lucy and Lisa in his bed he notices their expressions as they start tossing and turning so he quietly
sang to them as their expressions eased up.
Lincoln hopped into bed tired from the long drive as he drifted off to sleep with each sister on one side holding
him like a teddy bear.
~Lincoln's dream~
(Lincoln's POV)
My vision is blurry as I try to make out my surrounding, I can hear the rustling of trees, feel the cool breeze of the
air as the sun's light touches my skin making me sleepy.
The grass beneath me was soft as I lade on the ground.
Their are voices around me, talking but I don't hear them.
I feel them as they say
"Please come home soon"
~Waking up~
I wake up with a start as I looked around
I'm still in my room, Lucy and Lisa are still by my side asleep but I notice Lucy beginning to stir so I started to
gently pat her head lulling her to sleep.
But I couldn't shake off what just happened
"What was that dream?" I whispered wondering what it could mean.
~Grimwood's school~
(NO POV)
Miss Grimwood was at her desk filling out papers, preparing for hopefully a new student that would be coming
in the next month.
Their was a knock on the door "Come in" Miss Grimwood said as Hans hands came in.
"Oh, Hans is something the matter" Miss Grimwood ask as she reads his body(or hand) language
Hans made a few gestures as Miss Grimwood sighs "Yes, I know that the girls are devastated" The school seems
so much quieter then normal as the girls missed Lincoln very much.
"But did promise them that he'd visit as much as possible so we should have faith" Miss Grimwood told him
"And besides he might be joining the school some time this month."
Hans made a few more gestures as Miss Grimwood chuckles "Yes I believe he will join, My mentor said that when
someone with a strong magical potential first awakens their magic, the world will bring them to a teacher."
"After all it was for me, isn't that right"
Miss Grimwood smiles fondly as she looks at a small picture on on her desk with a much younger Miss
Grimwood standing next to a gorgeous women with black hair that covers her eyes. a1
